About the HANSSON 31
The Hansson 31 is a fractional sloop designed by Gösta Edwardsson & Erik Hansson and built by Hansson Boats AB (SWE) in 2001. With a displacement of 7055.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 19.15, this vessel represents a specific, limited-production entry from the early 2000s.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a manageable 31.5 ft LOA with a moderate 5.91 ft max draft for access to varied shorelines.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.92 and a displacement of 7055.0 lb, the Hansson 31 exhibits structural stability suitable for protected coastal passages but lacks the heavy displacement typically associated with serious bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other early-2000s European 30-foot fractional sloops with similar displacement and beam, such as the Beneteau First 30 or Dufour 30, due to shared emphasis on performance cruising.
